Hi and welcome JS,
Very little is known about the Albanian Navy Submarine Insignia, which I suppose is understandable, because they originaly only had four Whiskey type Submarines aquired from the Soviets in the 60's.
This you have probably seen already from Sub-Insignia:
Submariners uniforms were reportedly unique. A patch showing the silhouette of a submarine (silver/white on a blue/black background) has been seen and reproduced. Conflicting reports indicate the real version (if there is a real version) has gold vice the silver embroidered thread that is most often seen.
So as things stand I would imagine finding "original" Insignia very difficult.
The image shows the patch that is currently known, however if that is original or not remains to be seen.
Regards Eddie
